Men's Fellowship

Last night the Patos Men's Fellowship went up the mountain to Teixeira to take part in the service there of the EAB/ACEV church led by Pastor Maésio. It was lovely to see 27 mostly men travel there on a Tuesday evening and take part in a lively fashion. 2 brought words of testimony and 1 preached. The objective of such trips is to encourage fellowship between the 2 churches.

Unfortunately the drug addict who was supposed to be taken to the rehabilitation centre yesterday backed out at the last minute. Our team was ready to take him at 6 am as agreed but he didn't show up. Please pray for this man who can't be named.

Yesterday President Bolsonaro paraded tanks and armoured vehicles in the heart of the capital Brasília to threaten the country with a military coup as he sees it is unlikely that he will be re-elected next year. The man is plain evil yet sadly is backed by the majority of evangelical Christians but certainly not me. Please pray for a peaceful democratic transition of power next year and that Bolsonaro will not be able to imitate his idol Trump.

We were very encouraged to see 11 in the Monday night youth prayer meeting. This week I have been catching up with a lot of administrative work. Liz and I have had a meeting with the architect responsible for the revamp of our Care Centre and it is good to see that the project is developing well. We praise God for funds now in for 2 new wells and 4 new chicken runs. These funds have been forwarded to our projects team. The team has drilled a well today at Saco dos Pintos Community in Princesa Isabel County, which hit plenty of good water I am pleased to say. This well was previously funded. The team is also in the middle of constructing a new toilet/shower unit at Barra de Oitis.
